About Amanda
Amanda Blok is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people through hard times. She works in the United Kingdom and has 15 years of experience. Amanda offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
She helps with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Relationship and family concerns are part of her practice, along with grief, anger and eating difficulties.
Background and approach
Amanda also supports people navigating career change, life transitions and issues linked to identity, including LGBT-related concerns. Amanda focuses on listening closely and following each person’s pace. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and find small, practical steps forward.
She pays attention to patterns such as attachment, abandonment and control issues that can shape relationships and coping. Her background includes long experience working with mood disorders and complex emotional problems such as bipolar conditions, ADHD and prolonged stress. Amanda also addresses worries about money, loneliness and guilt or shame that stop people from moving on.
People who come to her often want straightforward, compassionate help in everyday language. She asks simple questions to clarify priorities and then works with each person to build coping strategies that fit their life.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
A client-centred approach emphasises listening and trust. The counsellor focuses on the person's experience, offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help make sense of feelings. This method is often used for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and the emotional effects of trauma. The same approach can be useful for specific patterns such as attachment, abandonment or control issues. In those sessions the counsellor helps identify recurring ways of relating and supports the person to try different responses that fit their goals and values. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters to the individual and try different ways of working until something feels helpful. Together they set practical goals and check progress as therapy continues. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep therapy going while travelling or living abroad, depending on the arranged format and timing.Questions people ask about Amanda
